We study the problem of answering queries over sources with limited access patterns. The problem is to decide whether a given query Q is feasible, i.e., equivalent to an executable...
This article shows how rational analysis can be used to minimize learning cost for a general class of statistical learning problems. We discuss the factors that influence learning...
Text extraction is an important phase in document recognition systems. In order to segment text from a page document it is necessary to detect all the possible manuscript text reg...
